WWII barrage balloon site visible on aerial photography taken in 1942 [1], but not in 1946 [2], located in Walmer. The site was comprised of a total of 19 ditches, all measuring 1.7m in diameter. One central ditch was surrounded by a ring of eight ditches, then by an incomplete wider ring of six ditches. Four further ditches, of the same form as those set in rings, were located to the SW. The area was heavily overlain with barbed wire (MWX43646) and lay 60m SE of Walmer Castle (MKE7317). The site was no longer visible on aerial photography taken in 2003 [3].

A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
